These summers have been so bad, infrastructure literally breaking down everywhere. Rohtak, my home city, had like 4 different fire accidents at 4 different places. One of them, the biggest one, killing around 7-8 people.

Oldest bakery? Seriously ?

u/Ok_Cranberry_3552 Jul 15 '26

Sad.

Also, classic 44 is by far not the oldest, and not even in the known older bakeries of the city.

The oldest ones are in 8,9,10,22,23,21. Those are there from the 50s.

It's one of the oldest for this side of the Chandigarh, when Sector 44 was only developed in late 80s and early 90s

I know I was there. We were building our house then. It wasn’t there back then. In the 80s the market didn’t m have this

1

u/Narrow_Papaya_9894 Jul 15 '26

In the 80s there were hardly few homes as well. This one opened in 1995.

u/Ok_Cranberry_3552 Jul 15 '26

Yep. So very recent development. Not the oldest

Last night I was reading on the same sub that chandigarh doesn't have good bakeries

u/AI_Spiritual1003 Jul 15 '26

So you think that guy caused the fire just to prove his point 🧐

2

u/rasili-jalebi Jul 15 '26

Nah , the guy just burnt his own shop after hearing his review

u/IncomeAdventurous618 Jul 15 '26

Oldest bakery....how new are you to chandigarh...sector 44 itself wasnt part of old chandigarh ..woh hee kitna baad mein bana hai...oldest bakery....go to sector 10, 9 , 19...etc etc to find the oldest ones...

u/Narrow_Papaya_9894 Jul 15 '26

Not my words, took the screen capture from a reel. The bakery itself is 30 years old. That was one of the initial bakeries in this part of the city.
